Cap, I am happy that I could provide a little bit of inspiration for your next feast.Dinh, you said "set it and forget it". I like the forget it part; and that is exactly what I do when the discussion turns to automatic rice cookers. I call it the joy of cooking to do things in the old ways.
Jerry, if there isn't a law against cooking rice in a microwave, there should be.Just joking.How do you cook rice in a microwave and how does it come out?
Made chicken and rice the old fashioned way. Two cups rice, two cups chicken broth, two cups water, one table spoon of olive oil and a dash of salt. I broiled and and boned two chicken thighs and mixed it with the rice. A little fresh ground pepper and it was perfect. I skipped a lot of the stuff I usually put in like sliced carrots, onion, and celery cause my mouth is still pretty sore and I ain’t quite got the hang of eating with dentures yet.
